Supplies:

  • Fabric – scraps are perfect!
  • Rotary Cutter or scissors
  • Elastic – I prefer fold over elastic, but about any elastic will work!
  • Safety pin

fabric

  1. Cut fabric into 3.5″ x 18″ strips and cut elastic to 6″ pieces.

2. With right sides together, fold fabric strip in half the long way (so that it measures 1.5″ x 18″) and sew with 1/4″ inseam along the long side to create a long tube.
